Family-Centered Pediatric Plastic Surgery Care.

Our multidisciplinary cleft palate and craniofacial center was established in 1978 and manages more than 5,000 active patients from birth to skeletal maturity. Over the past four years we have implemented a complex family-centered reorganization, with the goal of improving care and patient retention. Through our implementation of a familycentered approach, we have also decreased treatment burden, need for secondary procedures and cost of care. 1-12.
